“Leisure Suit Series” from Artist Catherine Reinhart on Display at the Law Library through April 30

Ames artist Catherine Reinhart will exhibit unique textile art in her Leisure Suit Series at the Iowa Law Library through April 30, 2019.

About the Exhibit

Caregivers have a unique power to provide comfort, ease suffering and connect people. Through the repetitive manipulation of individual threads from a discarded polyester quilt, Ames artist Catherine Reinhart seeks to mimic the ritual actions and deep consideration caregivers provide to their community, ultimately restoring value and breathing new life into a once forgotten object.

The Art in the Library program is a partnership between the Iowa Arts Council and the State Library of Iowa. Each quarter, the State Library welcomes a new Iowa artist to exhibit their work in the historic and iconic Law Library.

The Law Library is located on the second floor of the State Capitol building and is open Monday-Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free.
